Mors Earring Stud
A skull set in a recessed diamond frame, oxidized to an almost black finish so the skull stands out in beautiful contrast.
Skulls were commonly worn in 16th- and 17th-century jewelry as a reminder of our own mortality: memento mori, Latin for "remember that you must die." Although originally used in a more religious context, we hope wearing a memento mori piece reminds you to treasure the life you live and enjoy it to the fullest.
